I don't know a lot about everything, but I do know a lot about the part of everything that I know, which is people.

hello and goodbye

In some ways, I can't wait for the next month to fly by and be over!! In others, I wish I could hold onto them for just a while longer.

I never expected to feel remorse about leaving the great state of North Carolina. I kept telling myself not to get too involved, not to make great friends, and to be ready to leave at any point. Of course, that didn't happen.

I'm so excited to make this huge change that moving to Japan will bring. I can't wait to meet my new class and my new coworkers. I really can't wait to experience all the culture that is just waiting to be explored!

But I have to say that I will miss it here. Not that I will miss Fayetteville by any means. I will, however, miss the amazing people I work with (and often play with!!) I will miss several of the families I have had the privilege of getting to know while teaching their children. I will miss several aspects of living in the south. (Though, I won't miss the insects and the humidity!!) I will miss only having a three hour time difference between us and home. For all of you who made my time in NC not only bearable, but amazing, thank you. You, I will miss.

My Corner of the World

A little about me... I love my husband and my yorkie (Seamus). I'm a Christian. I love visiting the big city but am content living in the countryside. I'm incredibly indecisive. I am a bit of a geek, and my passion is teaching. My shoes consist of flip flops and boots - there isn't much in between. I love smoothies and coffee. I'm a celiac with a corn allergy, and am always experimenting with new ways to cook gluten-free. I love to travel and am lucky I have a job that allows me to do so often. I miss my friends and family in the states, but love being able to share this adventure with them.
